Text of sign:

Hominy Pot

In the vicinity of this marker, during the last quarter of the 18th century, were built the first homes and the original schoolhouses of 

New London.  Along this brook, developed by several men at different times, were a saw mill, a grist mill, a carding and 

cloth-dressing mill, a hat factory, a shingle mill, -- all powered by falling water. This industrial area has been variously called "Minot's 

Square," Harvey's Mills," Trussell's Mills," and most lastingly, "Hominy Pot."

This marker erected by the town of New London 

August 1874
